BASS PRESS RELEASEBy Bryan Brasher
The heat is rising and his magical dock seems to be cooling off a little.
But despite catching only 12 pounds, 15 ounces during
Saturday’s semifinal round, Alabama pro Justin Lucas is in position for a
wire-to-wire win at the Bassmaster Elite at Potomac River presented by Econo
Lodge.

Both anglers were covered with sweat backstage after
Saturday’s weigh-in, with the heat index rising above 112 degrees.
“I had 10 pounds for a long time today,” Lucas said. “I
don’t know why things slowed down the way they did. But I’m very fortunate to
be where I am with this kind of lead.
“This all started from Day 1 of the tournament. I had no
idea what lived under that dock — never even had a bite there in practice.”
A California native, Lucas has been using the kind of
finesse tactics that West Coast anglers are known for. He’s caught a couple of
fish on a stickbait and a couple on a swim jig, but the majority have been
caught on spinning tackle with a drop shot rig.
